Re your -while- loop: Use -forvalues b=0(0.1)1- if the values you want are
regularly spaced. Otherwise, -foreach- will happily take -any_list- that you
supply to it. -egen, fill()- may be helpful for your first task :-)

Subject: st: Using While Loops to Sample Decimal Values and Stata
Programming Support?
Dear Statalist Members:
Please see my question embedded in the code (in all caps as a
comment). In addition, for programming is there an excellent source
that can be recommended for using loops? I am also interested in
experiences participants had taking an official Stata "netcourse" on
programing. Thanks, john

generate ploo = .
generate pmdd = .
generate phii = .
generate x = (_n -1 in 1/101
gen dmaxis = x / 100
******IS THERE A BETTER METHOD TO DO THE ABOVE 2 LINES IN A SINGLE
LINE OF CODE?, I.E. GEN A VARIABLE .01 .02 ... .99 1.00?

*****HOW DO I GET THIS TO SAMPLE 0.0 .1 .2 .3 ... .9 1.0 OR SOME OTHER
DECIMAL VALUE, INSTEAD OF ONLY 0 AND 1?*****
setx amodel2 `b'

replace ploo = r(r1) if dmaxis==`b'
replace pmdd = r(r2) if dmaxis==`b'
replace phii = r(r3) if dmaxis==`b'
drop pii
local b = `b' + 1
